Lavender and Lace Challenge

Hello my lovely friends, thanks for coming to my blog. I have been at it again... blog hopping, I came across Joanna Sheens Blog. So I thought I would have a go. My card is 7 x 5 which I turned on its side. I have used Lavender and white swirl backing paper, A darker lavender shimmer paper and some white card stock. I used a Martha Stewart punch on the white card to make it look like lace. Coloured a Magnolia Tilda stamp in lilac and pink added a lace bow, some pink pearls and some flowers.

Here is my card

Debbees Paper Challenge

Hi everyone, sorry this one is late but it is the start of the month so here we go. To start with I have some sad news our Debs is closing her business for the time being. So she is having a closing down sale. 3 CDs for £10 so if you would like some then pop over to debbeescds.co.uk.

Ok for this month's challenge we had some lovely paper to play with. Here is what I came up with, the only thing is after I made the first card, I noticed that I had made the card with the backing paper on up-side-down, but that's the life of a crafter.

Time to Embellish

Hello everyone, well here I go...I made a card last night for my new Grandson who is due in September. When I finished it I looked at it and thought it had to be entered in the Crafter's Companion Monthly Challenge. So here is my card. The card is a 6 x 6 square. I used Crafter's Companion Popcorn Bear Children CD. Using gold Mirri card as a backdrop to the two different kinds of blue patterned paper makes it stand out. I used 2mm foam pads to make the decoupage Bear and added a New Baby Boy sentiment. When adding the embellishments I thought long and hard, as it is for a new baby you can not go over the top. So I settled for adding 6 pearls, a bow, and 3 small flowers in blue. I think that they finish off the card lovely.
